He
shook
his
head
.
“
Not
a
rule
,
exactly
,
but
—
”
“
Then
put
me
in
it
.
”
Beth
held
out
the
bills
.
The
man
shrugged
and
gave
Beth
a
card
to
fill
out
.
“
There
are
three
guys
out
there
with
ratings
over
eighteen
hundred
.
Beltik
may
show
up
,
and
he
’
s
the
state
champion
.
They
’
ll
eat
you
alive
.
”
She
took
a
ball
-
point
pen
and
began
filling
in
the
card
with
her
name
and
address
.
Where
a
blank
said
“
Rating
”
she
put
a
large
zero
.
She
handed
the
card
back
.
They
started
twenty
minutes
late
.
It
took
them
a
while
to
get
the
pairings
posted
.
When
they
were
putting
the
names
on
the
board
Beth
asked
the
man
next
to
her
if
it
was
done
at
random
.
“
Not
at
all
,
”
he
said
.
“
They
arrange
it
by
ratings
on
the
first
round
.
After
that
,
winners
play
winners
,
and
losers
,
losers
.
”
When
her
card
was
finally
put
up
it
said
“
Harmon
—
Unr
—
Black
.
”
It
was
put
under
one
that
said
“
Packer
—
Unr
—
White
.
”
The
two
cards
were
by
the
number
Twenty
-
seven
.
They
turned
out
to
be
the
last
two
.
She
walked
over
to
Board
Twenty
-
seven
and
seated
herself
at
the
black
pieces
.
She
was
at
the
last
board
on
the
farthest
table
.
Sitting
next
to
her
was
a
woman
of
about
thirty
.
After
a
minute
,
two
more
women
came
walking
over
.
One
was
about
twenty
,
and
the
other
was
Beth
’
s
opponent
—
a
tall
,
heavy
high
school
girl
.
Beth
looked
over
the
expanse
of
tables
,
where
players
were
getting
settled
or
,
already
seated
,
were
beginning
games
;
all
of
them
were
male
,
mostly
young
.
There
were
four
female
players
at
the
tournament
and
they
were
all
clumped
together
at
the
far
end
,
playing
against
one
another
.
Beth
’
s
opponent
sat
down
with
some
awkwardness
,
put
her
two
-
faced
chess
clock
at
the
side
of
the
board
and
held
out
a
hand
.
“
I
’
m
Annette
Packer
,
”
she
said
.
